IPmux-16 has communication with the machine.
2. Log in as SUPERUSER (su).
3. Edit the file named inetd.conf found at the /etc directory, as follows:
− Search for the line starting with a # sign followed by tftp, for example, #
tftp and delete the # sign.
− At the end of that line, there is -S <directory name>.
In <directory name> specify only the path to the file that is to be
downloaded to the IPmux-16; for example, /export/home/demo/tftp).
